Nobody out side of the Lower Mainland is allowed to eat California Rolls. You may not want to, but if you did, you can't.

I've seen the all-dressed sold and advertised in the U.S. as "Canadian All-Dressed". They weren't as good as back home, seriously.

All-dressed was someone on the board being like "wait what if instead of getting the janitor to throw out everything he sweeps up off the factory floor we make it a flavour instead" and you mouth breathers eat it up.

Oh yeah I kept hearing about the Nova Scotia Donair; friends would gush about it and complain about the local stuff. But I guess that would constitute double cultural appropriation to make that a Canadian food.

Is candied salmon different from really sweet smoked salmon? Because I smoke my own salmon and make it pretty dang sweet, but I'm from BC.

Just some musing about the situation in BC. How close these guys are in numbers makes things a little interesting. There's the normal risk of someone crossing the floor, or even just the rare person voting their concience on a bill here and there and actually swinging things. You never know. There's also the fun situation of the speaker needing to be appointed. I don't see why the liberals would volunteer. That means that every vote could potentially require the speaker to be a tie-breaker. i'm pretty sure this sort of structural tie has never happened in Canada. Anyone else know of one? Tie breaking votes are normally because it was tight getting enough MPs/MLAs in for a vote, rather than being because the government structurally doesn't have an extra vote. Convention is that, even when casting a vote, the speaker tries to be somewhat neural and err on the side of process continuing. So in intermediate steps he'll kick things along, allow more debate, and that sort of thing. I wonder if that starts to wear thin really quickly. The reasoning behind it doesn't really work in this specific case, since the point of staying neutral and passing things along is in hopes that it can be resolved through further deliberation, which it won't be because it's a structural problem in the numbers. The below is about tie breakers in the House of Commons, so the precedent doesn't necessarily have to hold, but it would normally be a guideline at a minimum. "ourcommons.ca posted:In theory, the Speaker has the same freedom as any other Member to vote in accordance with his or her conscience; however, the exercise of this responsibility could involve the Speaker in partisan debate, which would adversely affect the confidence of the House in his or her impartiality. Therefore, certain conventions have developed as a guide to Speakers (and Chairs in a Committee of the Whole) in the infrequent exercise of the casting vote.[98] Concisely put, the Speaker normally votes to maintain the status quo. This entails voting in the following fashion: Another interesting wrinkle is BC's recall system. You can't submit a recall petition until 18 months after an election. If this government lasts that long, will we get a strategic attempt at recalls to flip control of the legislature? You need a crapload of signatures, which only one attempt has ever actually gotten (presumably... Reitsma resigned before they were verified). It's probably not realistic to get 40% of the eligable voters to sign on to a petition without really pissing them off somehow, but it could be interesting. .

Worth mentioning that Ontario law ostensibly already requires two weeks vacation time so technically that's a bump to three weeks after five years rather than going from zero to three weeks after five years of work Still a giveaway to older generations because younger people are much less likely to get five years in the same job.

I wasn't being sarcastic, just pointing out a fun side effect. Wynne gets to generate good, clean tech jobs at the expense of mcdonalds cashier jobs while the latter thinks they're getting a great favor. It's a classic Wynne-win.

Oh maybe, I didn't really research that example at all, I just took for granted that automation was a threat to minimum wage jobs. If that's the case, maybe the general situation is that automation is adding more to the economy which will create more minimum positions. The part of me that's always zero summing questions where these new customers were eating lunch before though. If you look at the region as a whole, as the lunch creation process becomes more efficient, less people should be involved in creating those lunches. The number of lunches eaten is going to stay the same. Maybe the mcdonalds got a surge in customers because they're twice as fast now but the other lunch places will catch up or go out of business.
